Cash boost means new tents

The 2nd Pinchbeck St Mary scout group will be camping out in style thanks to a donation from Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems.

The company, which is based in Market Deeping, supplies communication systems for air-space operations worldwide. It makes donations to support worthwhile causes in the community and the scout group was nominated by principal customer support engineer and section scout assistant Julian Campbell. The money will be spent on replacing camping equipment and the first equipment to be bought will a host of tents to prepare the scouts for Poacher 2013.
